They say hindsight is 2020. This year flew by for me perhaps it's because I have been so focused on my goals that I really haven't had a chance to take a minute to reflect how far I've come. Here are some of the things I learned this year. To be more open minded to new experiences and let go of old habits To be more aware how social media influences and manipulates us because it can have drastic implications on our lives and society ... To be more aware of the importance of prioritizing mental and physical health because money cant buy this To be more thankful for what i have because we often take it for granted and focus on what I don't have or would like to achieve To be more cognisant of where I shop and how things are made because I value my community and want stuff that is well made To be better prepared for emergencies because anything could happen. What a ride it's been here's to 2021

Wishing everyone a happy holiday and enjoy a few days off. I know i need it! This Christmas may look a little different with the impending lockdown in Ontario and many small businesses struggling I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Stay safe

Did you know how yarn is made? Spun yarn is a kind of yarn made by gathering together a bundle of the staple by spinning the spindles at a very high speed to twist the staples together to form a piece of yarn. Because woolen-spun yarns retain lots of air pockets during the production process, they knit up into very insulating and warm garments.

It's sad that kids today will never understand the importance of Mr Rogers.Truely a legend that was ahead of his time. I sometimes wonder what he would have said about the coronavirus but thankfully we can still learn from his wisdom today through his many memorable quotes and the feature length film on his life by Tom Hanks.
